Mattshaw1953 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The swirls at both poles are not visible with the naked eye,but under an eye glass are incredible,the only thing I can compare them to is a finger print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi Matt. Welcome. Frankly I do not recognize that marble. Hopefully someone else will. The view with three copies above isn't opening for me. It opened though in the thread in the Buy Sell Trade forum, so here's the link to that one for anyone else who wants to check it out. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/19929-marble-help-required/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's better. Hmmm ... I just don't recognize it. Not as an antique handmade I'm familiar with, not as a machine-made type I know of, not as a modern handmade type I'm familiar with. Mystery to me. Is it for sure glass?

Steph Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Do I catch a glimpse of a line around the equator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 It's like a pin or something has been pulled through the orange/red into the white,it seems deliberate,I will see if I can upload a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Interesting. I still have no idea. Two things which occurred to me are (1) the kind of resin ball which some occasionally confuse with gutta percha, and (2) a hardened rubber ball. But I really, really don't know, so I'm going to button my mouth now and wait to hear from others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Very peculiar, I have not seen anything quite like it and I have no idea what it is. I wonder if it was a game piece or part of a toy or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
